Chapter 45:

The Undisputed Champion: Genju Nasaki

The Creature Hunter: Soul Of The Wind


He was six feet tall, with black eyes and he had long black, collected, and spiky hair that stretched from the front to the nose. Even though he was shirtless, he was wearing a long black outfit that dangled from his right shoulder and wore black trousers. And finally, he had an iron sword that he carried in his belt, just like Orano did.

He looked like he was twenty years old and he had a smile on his face.

His smile reminded Valdis's wide grin, but it was much smaller and he looked at Orano with eyes that wanted to know more.

"There's usually no one around here who challenges me that much. So, how about you show me what kind of face you have under that mask?"

Orano didn't say anything and just stared at him under the mask. But then he slowly took out his mask and threw it at the ground.

He had a slightly angry expression on his face and looked at Genju without blinking an eye.

Genju smiled widely and said,

"Just as I thought. A pair of eyes that are burning with anger and a face with a desire to fight."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Queen, that was watching the event at that moment, looked at the arena with excitement and curiosty, then she looked at Orano and said to herself,

"Someone who can challenge Genju without thinking, huh? That boy's got more courage than I thought."

She then grinned and said,

"I wonder what kind of show he's gonna give us tonight."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And while they were staring at each other, Orano said,

"I'm sorry, but I'm not here to fight and waste my time. Whatever plans you have in mind, you'd better cancel them now."

Then he looked at him with a furious expression and added,

"So get out of the way."

Genju continued to grin widely and said,

"Hooh, so you want me to get out of your way? Then you should know that you have to make move yourself."

While they were still looking at each other,

Caitrin said loudly,

"Tatsumi! Don't listen to him! He is trying to convince you to fight!"

Orano slightly looked back and said,

"Wait right here and don't move until I say so. I will get us out of here."

And just then they were talking, the announcer made another announcement,

"Well, I think we'll have to cancel the first event tonight and make some changes."

He then added,

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to our special guest match tonight! With Evander Boras's mysterious disappearance, we now have a new contender! The real match of the night starts now!"

He then added once again and said,

"In a corner is the champion, Genju Nasaki, who is undefeated with a score of 27-0!"

Caitrin said to herself nervously,

*27-0? Are you serious?*

"And in the other corner, there is someone who has just entered the competition, but is known among the people! He is one of the creature hunters! He is, Orano Tatsumi!"

The announcement of Tatsumi's name shocked everyone around him. They didn't expect a wanted criminal to be here fighting against the special guest. 

"Orano Tatsumi?"

"That guy caused trouble in Emperal?"

"I saw him back in Faye too. He was in the Ceremony."

"He looks dangerous."

But they still thought it might be a good fight, so they started screaming and shouting once more,

"Mr. Nasaki! You can do this!"

"Give us a good show! Mr. Tatsumi!"

"You can do it!"

Caitrin said nervously to herself,

*Now it's too late. We can't get out of here anymore!*

Genju smiled for the last time, took out his sword from his belt, and said,

"Then let the show begin."

And as the crowd went silent, they both took out their sword at the same time and attacked each other. Their swords collided in the air. They looked at each other and kept pushing each other as they collided.

Genju looked at him smiling and said,

"You are stronger than I thought! But I think you can show me more!"

Then he pulled his sword back and tried to hit him multiple times. And every time he tried that, their sword collided again and again.

Orano said to himself as he dodged the attacks,

*He's attacking quickly and trying to waste my energy. If I don't find a way to stop this and attack him, he'll have the advantage.*

While he was blocking his attacks, Genju tried to hit him from his right arm, but Orano held the sword with his armpit and hit him with his palm on the chin. And just when Genju was falling backward, he leaned forward, stepped hard on the ground, and kicked Orano from under his chin by doing a reverse somersault.

Then as Orano flew back a little and got onto his knees, Genju quickly jumped towards him and tried to hit his neck. But Orano acted quickly and held the sword with both of his hands, put the sword on his neck, and blocked the incoming attack. He then pushed him away and kicked him from the belly.

As they got away from each other and gasped for air, Genju said,

"You're very good at defending yourself. And you can repel any incoming attack. But you still haven't shown how good you are in attacking. So how about we make this game a little more fun, huh?"

"I'm not here to prove to you how good I am or how bad I am. The only one thing that will finish the thing between us, will be to bringing it to a conclusion."

"Then we have no choice but to finish this."

They attacked each other again and their swords collided once more.

As they fought the crowd was going crazy by shouting, and Caitrin was watching them with fear. 

And as she watched them, her Zon Device started making noises and she heard Lydia's voice,

"Caitrin! Can you hear me?"

She quickly held her device and said,

"Yes, I can. What happened?"

"They have closed the first port too! Abort the escape plan and meet me at port three. As soon as I get a ship I will wait for you all there! But we have to leave immediately!"

"Understood! We will try out best."

She then closed her Device and continued to watch Orano. 

They were fighting and their swords collided so hard that their swords flew in the air. So both quickly looked at each other, then at the sky, and jumped towards their swords. And as the swords fell down, Genju looked at Orano, hit him in the stomach with his knee, and got his sword before Orano did.

Then he hit him again and made him fly backward. 

After they landed, they got up again and gasped for air once more. But before Orano found another strategy, Genju quickly tried to attack him again. 

Luckily, Orano acted quickly, threw his sword at the ground, blocked his attacks with his punches and kicks, then kicked him, made him slide back. After that, he ran towards his sword, stepped on top of the sword's hilt, and kicked him. Then without touching the ground he took the sword and hit him, making him slide once more.
